Art Journaling with Shari Carroll: Merry and Bright

Welcome and Happy Sunday!! It’s Shari Carroll here with an art journal that features texture upon texture!!

I’ve tried out something new to me; a Stamperia texture impression mold!! I’ve used the Ramage Flowers and Leaves mold for the base of this journal page. Once it dries, it’s amazingly flexible and lightweight, perfect for mixed medium projects and journals!!

By using a mixture of paints, crackle paste, and glaze, I was able to get the effects of a Shabby Chic wintery feel.

To finish this page, I’ve added a Tim Holtz word adornment, a couple die cut snowflakes, and silver metallic droplets.
